A Night With My Boss

**Petra**

I entered the house and it was dark everywhere. I tried on the switch but it wasn’t working.

“Ari, Ariiiiii, Ariana, Girlfriend..” I shouted.

“Oh my gosh what’s going on I am already freaking out”. Just then the lights went on and I saw everyone around me.

“Whose birthday is it?” I asked.

Everyone started laughing, what the heck is wrong with these people.. I thought mentally palming myself.

Just then I felt someone tap my back. I turned immediately and met Alex on his knee with a box.

“Wow…. Oh my gosh” I squealed.

“Kitten I’ve been crazy about you every since the first day you stepped into my office for a job, I was just so stupid to notice it, you are unique and I would have loved something big for this occasion but Ariana said you loved it simple” He said smiling widely then he became serious again.

“Mi Amor I promise to make you the happiest woman in the world, on earth itself if you say yes to me today, so Petra will you marry me? be my wife? Let me father all your children? And most especially treat you like the queen you are?”.

“Yes Yes Yes Alexandra Yes!!” I said jumping up and down is exciting.

He stood up, carried me turning me around then he placed a soft kiss on my lips.

“I love u kitten” He said with love in his eyes.

“I love u too baby” We kissed again till Kate interrupted us.

“Awwnnnnnn those idiots made the sound

So I just have to prepare for your wedding, it should be as soon as possible because you have to get married before you give birth” Kate said.

Wait a minute, is Alex proposing because I am pregnant.. I felt my heart cling immediately.

“Ma’am I would love to assist” Ari squealed, bringing me out of my thoughts.

“Of course dearie, I can’t manage it on my own and don’t call me ma’am, just Kate”.

“Liam is my second son and since he loves you, you are also my daughter just like Petra is” She said hugging Ari.

It’s official Alex is marrying me because of the baby. What of that girl we even met at the restaurant? Oh my gosh I feel so stupid.

“In that case if we are your daughters we can call you mom right?” Ariana asked.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Wow, that will be so sweet of you girls,” Kate replied, smiling out tears.

“It’s okay mom” Ari said, hugging her and I joined in.

Alex and Liam also joined and we laughed.

I think the press took a shot but who cares.. I was just so fulfilled or maybe not. First Alex is marrying me for the baby and secondly she’s not here. Everything hurts, I let my tears flow out and I ran to the garden.

**Alex**

We we’re all having a nice time after I proposed to my kitten but she started crying and ran out…

“What’s wrong?” I asked out loud.

“She probably remembered her again and she felt bad,” Ari said.

“Who is she? I don’t understand,” I asked, confused.

“Well she will be at the garden should I go calm her down or you will?” Ari asked.

“I will” I said and ran after her, there she was sitting in a spot close to some flowers, tears were still running down her face.

“You know the doctor said you shouldn’t cry so much, it will spoil your beautiful face” I teased and she smiled but it was short lived.

“I just miss her Alex”.

“Who?” I asked.

“My sister, we used to be real close, everything was so perfect but she loves partying, dad scolded her when she returned and said so many hateful words to her, he said she wasn’t his daughter but that was a lie, she got furious and ran out of the house she was hit by a car, mom got really stressed about everything, she was actually sick before but didn’t tell anyone, the shock gave her an attack and she passed out, she couldn’t make it…” She paused sniffling more than before as the tears started afresh.

“Dad couldn’t bear the fact that he caused her being in coma and mom’s death so he killed himself, I was left alone with her, one morning I was cleaning up the house when her boyfriend walked in, he started confessing that he had feelings for me, I was stunned and he caught me off guard by kissing me before I could push him off I saw her standing by the doorstep”.

“She was broken by what she saw , apparently she woke up the previous day and told the doctor not to inform me that she wanted it to be a surprise and she was surprised instead”.

“She didn’t even let me explain.. Ari who has been friends with us right from childhood tried to talk to her but she cut off all ties with us and she hates me with passion, she didn’t even get to find out that dad lied to her and she was truly his daughter… I miss her, she concluded sobbing”.

“It’s okay my love she will come around” I patted her.

“She won’t Alex, it’s been 4 years now and Lucia still hasn’t heard me out” she said.

“Things would get better” I said and planted a kiss on her lips.

“Come on we are engaged and our wedding should be in 3 months time, you need to shop” I said.

“Oh about that Alex, I can’t marry you,” She said.

“Whattt!!!!”

“I know you just want to get married to me because of the baby” She said.

“I can’t believe you just said this I stated, I used my hands to ruffle my hair in frustration.

“Petra i love you damn it, ever since the first day i met you at the office, so where is this coming from?” I cried in frustration.

“I’m sorry” She said slowly. I saw a tear drop from her eye.

“You have to get a dress you know or i conclude you don’t want to get married to me” I said.

“Oh really!!!” she exclaimed as her face brightened up. She threw her heels at me.

“Arrrgh!!!” I shouted and ran behind a tree, she stood up and ran after me.. “Oh calm down sweetie we don’t want to hurt our baby” I said.

She laughed and nodded.

“Okay piggyback?” I asked.

“Yea!!” she squealed and climbed on my back, we laughed back into the house.

Every other thing went well and everyone went home, it was time to go home. Liam drove mother home, I tucked her to bed, kissed her goodnight and headed home.

I just love her.
